East Side Sushi. Sort of romance, sometimes funny, drama. My wife did not hate it. Which means I win this one.
 
Thoroughbreds - this was ok for me immediately after leaving the theater- and it has grown on me a bit after the fact. The cast is all good, and Anton Yelchin (RIP) has a bit but impactful part as a side character. I'd recommend it if you are looking for something new and different.

Red Sparrow - crap, skip it.
 
Started 4th episode, season 1 of 'Game of Thrones', watching for the second time I'm picking-up on things I missed the first time.

I really liked this movie, especially the ending.

Just watched this on Netflix this past weekend:

Not great, but not bad either. Interesting is probably the word I would use to describe it.

Was pondering warching it. But a quick glance at imdb: "Drive Yakuza style" was a bit meh. I liked Drive as the next one but still..

..instead was watching (haven't finished it yet) Hungry* on Netflix. French zombie flic playing in Quebec. Nice one so far. Really manages to add something interesting / a different perspective to a genre you'd think has shown it all already (more than once too). Recommended. No English dub though.

*not sure about the English title..

It wasn't bad, just wasn't great. It does start off kind of slow but it does pick up. If you have a few hours and nothing else is grabbing your attention try it out.

Harrelson is _often_ great!

Seven Psychopaths
Zombieland
No Country for Old Men
Natural Born Killers
The People vs. Larry Flynt
The Messenger
[...]

Heck, even very mediocre films he's generally good, I mean, there's some material that's just not good, but he's usually not the weak link.

His best work was Cheers!
 
For the horror fans, especially those that like some funny stuff mixed in with their scares/splatters/screams I'd recommend:

Crush the Skull (2015)

... from Indiewire:

Winner of the inaugural “Nightfall Award” at the 2015 Los Angeles Film Festival —an accolade bestowed upon the festival’s best horror or “midnight” film— Viet Nguyen’s feature directorial debut “Crush The Skull,” is a hilarious, thrilling hybrid of a heist film and a gory, old-school slasher flick. The screenplay, written by Nguyen and one of the film’s stars Christopher Dinh, skillfully balances comedic moments with frightening, unexpected twists and turns. Nguyen’s direction also adeptly brings many of funny and fear-inducing scenes to life, an effect no doubt bolstered by the excellent performances of a stellar cast that includes Dinh, Tim Chiou, Katie Savoy, Chris Riedell, Lauren Reeder, Walter Michael Bost, Leonard Wu, Jerry Ying and Lincoln Hoppe, in a film reminiscent of other comedy-horror hybrids such as Eli Craig’s “Tucker & Dale vs. Evil” or Drew Goddard’s “The Cabin in The Woods.”

[...]

Having its origins in two short films initially uploaded to YouTube on Halloween in 2011 and 2013, the feature version of “Crush The Skull,” is an excellent spiritual successor to the existential dark comedy initially envisioned by Nguyen (and co-writer Dinh) in those earlier works. Extremely entertaining and well-crafted, “Crush The Skull” promises a bright future in genre films for Nguyen. [B+]

I'd highly recommend NOT watching the two shorts before the feature film, while they're not direct prequels, they give up some funny bits (reused in the film) and kind of have a spoiler-ish-ness to them.
